Production shut down on "Mission: Impossible 6" after star Tom Cruise broke his ankle while performing a stunt for the film during its London-based shoot.

Paramount Pictures said that production will go on hiatus while Cruise makes a full recovery.

TMZ posted a video Sunday that showed a tethered Cruise leaping to a building, hitting its side and then crawling over the top and running away. After he finished the take, Cruise is seen limping, though he was able to rappel back to the building he jumped from.

The 55-year-old actor is known for performing many of his own stunts. The studio said that the film remains on schedule to open on July 27, 2018.

Cash family speaks out against hate

The children of Johnny Cash are asking white supremacists and other hate groups not to wear or use the country singer's name or image. In a Facebook post shared by Cash's daughter Rosanne and son John Carter Cash, the siblings said they were "sickened" to learn a self-proclaimed neo-Nazi was wearing a T-shirt with their father's name at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va. The post said the late country music legend's heart "beat with the rhythm of love and social justice" and that Cash would be "horrified at even a casual use of his name or image for an idea or a cause founded in persecution and hatred." They requested his name "be kept far away from destructive and hateful ideology." The post, also signed by Kathy, Cindy and Tara Cash, said the family values love and kindness, respects diversity and cherishes "our shared humanity." Johnny Cash died in 2003.
